Using the slope formula, the slope of the line is -2/3
Here, given the points that lie on the line, we want to use the slope formula to determine the value of the slope
The slope formula is given below;
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ = (-2,5)} \\ (x_2,y_2)\text{ = (4,1)} \\ \\ m\text{ = }\frac{1-5}{4-(-2)} \\ \\ m\text{ = }\frac{-4}{6} \\ \\ m\text{ = -}\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
